MR Collection: Lamborghini 350 GTV

On the Nuremberg Toy Fair yesterday I spotted this exceptional sculpture of the Lamborghini 350 GTV. The abstract sculpture in scale 1/12 expresses the essence and iconic shape of the first Lamborghini sports car, designed by Franco Scaglione.
The sculpture has been developed by MR Collection in collaboration with Centro Stile Lamborghini in Sant’ Agata Bolognese and is supposed to be the first of a series of Lamborghini sculptures.
The edition is limited to 10 pieces, each signed by Lamborghini’s head of design Filippo Perini.

About

Skilled craftsmen, artists and designers shaped the bodywork of the automobile since the early days of motoring.
Professional artists, illustrators, photographers and sculptors were commissioned to visualize these creations again, mostly for commercial purposes like adverts, posters or sales catalogues.
These artworks express the zeitgeist of the automobile in it's historical and cultural context, and can be compiled into an individual category of art - Automotive Art.
The aim is to create an overview over the historical development of Automotive Art and highlight the most important milestones of car design and it's artistic interpretations in applied and fine arts.
We feature artwork and automobilia from our collection, and we share paintings, sketches and photography from our art studio.
